In the below lesson, students investigate inequalities and apply it to volume and perimeter. Students will utilize the TI graphing calculator. (Lesson Plan taken from the TI Website.)
In the below lesson, students will participate in a lesson on the SMART board. This lesson involves solving equations. Here students use virtual manipulatives to help them visualize what takes place when solving an algebraic equation. (Lesson Plan taken from SMART exchange.)
The following lesson plan is for dividing fractions. It involves using manipulatives to explain how to divide fractions and what it happening when something is divided by a fraction. (Taken from the Ohio Department of Education website) Dividing Fractions Lesson Plan
Ratios/Unit Conversions
Lesson using ratios and graphs to convert between metrics and English units. Students create tables by looking for patterns, graph, and then look for patterns. (Taken from TEXTEAMS Rethinking Middle School Mathematics) Lost and Gained
Decimals
A lesson about converting between decimals, fractions, and percents. This lesson use the Equivalents iOS apps and the SmartNotebook software for students to investigate and create algorithms for converting between the three representations of rational numbers.
A multiplying decimals lesson where students use multiple representations for answering a multiplying decimals lessons. Todays Meet backchannel is used for students to discuss different methods represented.
A lesson where students are given opportunities to work through word problems to decide on the operation and how to solve decicmal problems. Poll Everywhere is used for students to discuss the choosing of operations and answers to the problems.
